Scroll wheel scrolls directly to the bottom and top of the scroll controls.

Also, text looks exactly the same to me.

The user interface fonts will look the same:

When moving my character is shaky as hell. The problem that Crono mentioned earlier was fixed, but this one is the entire character. Honestly, this is probably one of the main reasons why I never use this client; I can't play with my character jerking around all of the time.

On first glance, these problems also still exist:

  • When moving (on all defined movement controls) if you Alt and Tab out of the window your character won't stop moving in the direction you were heading in. Much like the Ctrl/Alt bug above.

  • Maximizing to full screen messes up the screen. Ctrl, Alt and Delete and opening a program that disables visual themes also achieves this. These don't happen on my Graal 5 client, though a little error does pop up when I do Ctrl, Alt and Delete.

  • Use bold on the nicknames and chat like they usually are.

In-game chat using Tempus Sans ITC looks the same, I meant.

Any word on an open beta or release date yet?

Stefan replied to an email earlier saying that he expected to have an open beta some time in August.

There are still bugs that need to be ironed out before an open beta. The only thing an open beta really gives for v6 is testing on more diverse hardware. Otherwise, the current people who have it are more than able to find bugs.

A downside of open beta v6 is that developers would need to start thinking about making scripts that work on both v5 and v6 (because, who knows how long it would be open beta).

We need an open beta now. Particles and other effects are amazingly slow on v5, while they cause almost no FPS drops on v6. In addition, lots of players on Era can never get above 15 FPS because of compatibility problems between Graal and their hardware or OS. I know several players who have to use older PCs after getting new hardware because they can't run Graal on their new computer. There aren't any game-inhibiting glitches that I can think of, either.

The players are not going to like it in its current condition.

What glitches are there that get in the way of gameplay? I rarely use the Windows client but I can't think of any major ones.

Sounds like you're saying the client needs to be entirely released right now, not an open beta.

Those all seem like minor things. I've never noticed the "shaky character", and the key sticking certainly isn't anything to hold back the beta for. I can't replicate your "maximizing to full screen messes up the screen", at least on Windows 7.

v6 sorely needs to be released, even if only as an open beta. If players don't like it they can use v5.

The client does need to be entirely released right now, but Stefan has indicated he wants to do an open beta first. Minor glitches are no reason to hold back a beta.

Crono 08-08-2010 03:53 AM

v6 needs to set a good impression, or else you will have a lot of disappointed players.
